Special circumstances for those that get their HS degree early then, but generally I was thinking 3 years with most people leaving HS around 18 years old, but 2 would be fine. I would toss in a college or technical education for as many years served as part of the wages earned, and they would get useable job experience, better citizenship, and references as well.
Well, loopholes would creep in as the Congress just can't seem to leave anything well enough alone. Same reason complicated tax laws seem to creep into the tax code. I'm sure the rich kids would do their service at some favorite national golf course or yacht club. I suppose you would need to keep it in check like everything else with scrutiny and disclosure. I've heard that some rich kids even use the military to pad their resume's with medals and citations.
